Trump 2nd term live updates: Trump orders ‘pause’ on military aid to Ukraine
Despite Trumpās targeting of transgender people and an anti-equality majority in the Senate, lawmakers refused to move the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act forward, with Democrats voting in unison to block it from advancing during a floor vote Monday night.
The bill failed by a vote of 51-45. It would have needed 60 votes to progress.
All Democrats present voted to stop the bill from moving forward.
In a statement, the Human Rights Campaign said, “The Senateās rejection of this anti-LGBTQ+ attack sends a clear message that attempts to legislate away freedoms for LGBTQ+ people and their families will be met with resistance.”
